🌡️🥵 Hot days, cool heads 🧊😎 This summer has not only brought a lot of sunshine, but also high temperatures. The relentless sun and the ongoing heatwave are taking their toll on workers at the terminals and on the road. 🔎 But how do you keep a cool head on such hot days? We asked WienCont GmbH and got some valuable insights: “To avoid the hottest hours, we start the working day earlier and use mobile shade solutions such as tents or tarpaulins.”  ⛱ “Regular breaks and drinking water instead of sugary or caffeinated drinks are important. Sometimes we also reach for electrolyte drinks.” 💧 These measures make it clear how essential it is to be prepared for extreme weather conditions in order to ensure the health of the team. Bravo! 👏 A big thank you to the entire WienCont team for your time and for keeping the terminal running even in this heat! 💙 Picture: © Roland Spedition / Raimo Rumpler #rolandspedition #wiencont #summer2024 #hotdays #coolheads #logistics

Friendship as the key to success 🗝🤝 Friendships develop in many different ways - some go back to childhood and last a lifetime. Anyone who knows them knows that our two managing directors, Christian Gutjahr and Nikolaus Hirnschall, are not only linked by a long-standing business partnership but by an even longer friendship. Their friendship began in their youth and has developed into a successful business partnership over the years. Today, on International Friendship Day, we would therefore like to pay tribute to this special friendship. 🔹 What role their friendship plays in the day-to-day running of the business: “Our friendship plays a central role in our day-to-day business management, as we can rely on mutual trust and support in all matters. This enables open communication and a very good basis for discussion.” 💬🔄 🔹 What they have learned from each other: “Over the years, we have learned a lot from each other: tackling things together, keeping work fun and always looking ahead. We value each other's individual strengths and those of each individual team member. That's why we encourage open communication within the company.” 💡🔝  🔹 What milestones & challenges they have mastered: “Our biggest milestones include successfully leveraging rail liberalization for the benefit of our customers and offering independent services despite competition and resistance. We have also guided Roland from difficult times into a model company.” 📈🏆 🔹 What visions they have for the future: “Our shared goals for the future of the company are to continue to develop Roland in the long term for the benefit of customers, partners and employees, as well as to maintain the spirit of Roland Spedition and implement our values in a sustainable way.” 🌍🔮 “We envision our collaboration in the coming decades as it has been in the past: with blind trust, consistency and always looking to the future.” This interview shows impressively how a friendship that began in youth can grow into a successful business partnership. The deep connection and mutual trust between our managing directors, Christian Gutjahr and Nikolaus Hirnschall, have not only contributed to the stability and success of Roland, but have also created an inspiring corporate culture. 🌟💼 Dear Christian and Niki, thank you very much for your time and your personal insights. Your friendship and collaboration are a living example of how personal relationships and professional partnerships can merge harmoniously and successfully. Keep on rolling together! 💙🚂 Pictures: © Roland Spedition & © Roland Spedition / Raimo Rumpler #rolandspedition #meettheteam #familybusiness #businesspartner #friendship #friendshipday

Investing in the green future of rail 🌿 Last week, the Allianz pro Schiene e.V. published figures for the per capita investment in rail infrastructure in a number of European countries. Particularly pleasing: Austria invested more in 2023 than in 2022 and has thus moved up to third place in the ranking! 🥉 With the 2024-2029 framework plan and investments totaling € 21.1 billion, Austria is consistently continuing its course towards green mobility. 👉 Goal: move more people and goods from road to rail! 📦➡🚉 As a rail operator, we are very pleased about these developments, because a strong rail infrastructure is the key to sustainable mobility and an environmentally friendly future. 🌍 Chart: © Allianz pro Schiene #rolandspedition #container #containeroperator #shift2rail  #sustainable #greenlogistics

🏆 Spain are the 2024 European champions ⚽ After a rather unspectacular first half, "La Furia Roja" came to life in the second half and secured the European Championship title for the fourth time with a 2:1 win. This makes Spain the sole record European champions. 🔎 But what about freight transport in the country of the newly crowned European champions? In 2022, a total of 2,146 million tons of goods were transported in Spain. Of which 73% had a national origin and destination. 🚛 Road 323,078 million tonne-kilometers were covered in domestic freight transport, 66% of which was on Spanish roads. 🚉 Rail Rail freight transport recorded 10,553 million net tonne-kilometers, of which 84.44% were transported domestically and 15.56% internationally. ✈ Air Air freight amounted to 941,806 tons, of which 6.21% was transported domestically and 93.79% internationally. 🛳 Sea Spanish ports handled 513.7 million tons of freight: 🔹 9.4 % in coastal navigation, 🔹 87.6 % in foreign navigation, 🔹 0.1 % in cargo handling, 🔹 2.9 % in fishing, supply and inland transportation. Spain may now be at the forefront of European soccer, but with a very low proportion of goods transported by rail, there is still room for improvement. More investment is now being made in environmentally friendly transport solutions and the modernization of infrastructure, because 👉 sustainability is also a big issue in Spain! We hope that the investments made will strengthen rail freight transport in Spain and that the victory of the Spanish national team will inspire the rest of the country to further success. 🍃🏆 Good luck and congratulations on the European Championship title. 👏 ⬇ Further details on the modal split and on the support of sustainable transport in Spain can be found in the comments. ⬇ Picture: © Roland Spedition #rolandspedition #euro2024 #soccer #teamspirit #containeroperating #greenlogistics
